southernmedicine: (keep it to yourself)
Some friends and I were casually chatting, and one asked if any of us had ever read a series of books from ye olde times as kids; Goosebumps-adjacent horror for kids. Nope. Other friend asks if we've ever read a book called Wait Till Helen Comes. Also no, but I am intrigued by the premise. Turns out there's also a movie. Found said movie on Amazon and decided to give it a watch.

The credits roll, and Callum Keith Rennie's name pops up, grasps me by the shoulders, and Sparta-kicks me all the way back to the early 2000's when I first discovered Due South.

We are all connected, in the great circle of life.

Yesterday I drank my last Space Coke.

I had been saving it since it was discontinued at the end of 2022. Can you believe that? And guess what? It still tasted great. Like space. Perfect carbonation.

But all things end, and I figured I would crack the very last can on the day I moved out of my home of nearly seven years, as a way to embrace change and mark the occasion.

I'll miss you, Space Coke. Rest in deliciousness.

Is anyone here German, or, barring that, does anyone here know a lot about German culture?

When my roommate's fiancee moved in, I immediately noticed a thing she does; I immediately noticed it because it quickly turned out to be a pet peeve of mine: when she leaves the table, she doesn't push her chair in. I'm not talking like, it's out a little, I'm talking about she pushes back, gets up, walks away, and leaves her chair like in the middle of the kitchen.

This quickly got really annoying to me, and I noticed it kind of irked my roommate, too. But, you know, we're getting through it. Whenever I find a chair out I just push it in, though sometimes I push it in a way that makes a lot of noise against the kitchen tiles so that everyone can hear me doing it from wherever they are in the house, just to be petty.

So, the other day her parents came from Germany, and they are staying here with us until after the wedding. I was out all day, but I just came home, and found ALL the chairs out. One of them is straight up almost touching the sliding glass door that is about four feet away from the table. THEY ALL DO IT.

So I'm trying to find out, essentially, if this is a German thing or if this is specific to their family.

So earlier, I was thinking about why it is we say an actor is "on" a tv show but "in" a movie.

"Jared Padalecki is on Supernatural."

"Ryan Reynolds is in Deadpool."

Is there a reason for that?

But then. I started to wonder if that really is a "we" thing. Maybe it's just a me thing. Now I'm going to be paying close attention to everybody who starts talking about tv and movies around me.

What about you guys?

Now that I have given myself permission to use icons that are not McCoy, there are too many options, and I am paralyzed with indecision. :')
southernmedicine: (chair)
It's such a small, silly thing, but I have been thinking a lot about... icons.

Specifically about allowing myself to use icons of people and things other than Leonard McCoy. You see? Small and silly.

But. My brand. I really do love a good theming, and in my head and heart having a McCoy-centric username, layout and icon set was the ideal, but I also have this folder here full of other icons and I just. You know?

In other news, it's really hot, I'm tired all the time, and I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my girlfriend (!!!) which will occur in exactly two weeks. I've been trying to plot out a loose itinerary for us, but it's hard to do that without knowing whether we get to go to Comic Con yet. I also have a LOT I need to do before she gets here, so hopefully staying even busier than usual will make the time go by that much more quickly.

Also hey, you! Sign up for [community profile] fandomgiftbasket!

I spent all day napping on the couch listening to the rain and then chasing down things for my cosplay, when I was supposed to spend the day doing my [personal profile] candyheartsex assignment. It is now 1am and it's due today and WORDS, WHY WON'T THE WORDS??

I know it's a very low 300 word minimum but I wanna do a lot more for my recipient than that!

G O D

I also have to take a shower still because I work tomorrow but my roommate has been in there for like the past hour, I dunno wtf he's doing but there ain't gonna be any hot water for awhile that's for sure.


EDIT, 2:35AM: Done and submitted dabs

Update:

My hair turned out perfectly. All I had to do was everything myself. Figures haha.
southernmedicine: (all things considered)
I snagged another username I really wanted.

But I don't... know what to do with it.

I don't actually want to like, use a rename token and use it here, because my brand.

But I also don't want to just hoard it for no reason, because it's kinda crappy when people do that, and someone else wishes they could have it, you know?

...hm.
southernmedicine: (the look on your face)



Oh god oh god I did a thing.

I found out by happening to see someone's random story on Instagram that Ivanna Sakhno and Natasha Liu Bordizzo (also known as Sabine Wren and Shin Hati of Star Wars/Ahsoka) are going to be at LA Comic Con this weekend and, given they're my current hyperfixation, I panic-bought a badge for tomorrow to see them. I have no one to go with me and I don't know how I'm getting to LA tomorrow, I think maybe I'm going to jump on a train??? I did not plan for this at all. I have never been this impulsive before. lol oh my GOD why am I the way that I am?
southernmedicine: (the look on your face)
Those of you who have been following me for awhile know that I get really excited to try all the new Coke flavors that come out. It all started with Space Coke (which is still my favorite, RIP, we miss you) and now I just can't help hunting down whatever the newest Coca Cola Creation of the season is.

I didn't even know there was a new one, actually. I was just at the grocery store, minding my own business, and there she was: Coke Y3000, which promises to be "Futuristic Flavored," whatever that means! I've got a can chilling in the fridge right now, so I'm gonna find out very soon.

So, just wondering, does anyone know if there might be like, comms where people go to post their plot bunnies/fics they really want to read, and then other people come along and adopt the bunnies and write the things at their leisure?

Asking for a friend.
southernmedicine: (he can't believe)
Remember when Kate Bishop wore that black on black suit to the charity auction?

I do. I do.

12. Also I'm very curious about what led you to switch platforms and join us here on Dreamwidth and how that's going for you. asked by [personal profile] runpunkrun

There was some drama over on tumblr. The sort of drama that devastates you emotionally and reminds you of all the reasons why you need to continue going to therapy.

I loved it there, but too much had changed for me personally, and I couldn't remain there while at the same time working on my mental health and trying to become a better version of myself that the people around me deserved instead of the shit show they got. Without an anchor though, a place where I could participate in fandom, it was almost worse. So I'm glad I was able to set up a quiet little home away from home here, surrounded by low-key, drama-free people.

I miss having close friends that I could talk to about most anything, and I miss roleplaying. I miss the memes and the askbox games and the aesthetic posting, but this is good for me here, I think.

At the risk of big-time exposing myself:

As Halloween nears, I am once again reminded that there is not enough werewolf AU porn and Mirror!verse Trek smut out there in the universe. As much as I would love to be the filth that I'd like to see in the world, I am too lazy and too stressed to write my own. I draw a chalk circle on my living room floor and summon the dark ones, the Halloween gods, the shameless smut peddlers of fandom, to heed my call and grant my every wish.

(I guess also if anyone has any recs, that works too.)
southernmedicine: (the look on your face)
I have been rolling around in this Don't Worry Darling press tour drama all day, and doing absolutely nothing else.

I need to write, but I cannot. Not when every ten seconds there is a new meme featuring Chris Pine's face in the throes of complete disassociation.

EDIT: I made these to amuse myself. Feel free to use at will.

southernmedicine: (a little rough)
As you all know, my legacy around here is being a Space Coke enthusiast.

Well, it would seem that Space Coke is being retired, or at least is no longer the focus of Coca Cola Creations. Taking its place is Coke Dreamworld, which claims to, yes, you got it, taste like dreams.

Of course, I bought some. So, once it's done chilling in the fridge for a bit, I guess we'll find out if dreams taste better than space (doubtful).
southernmedicine: (the look on your face)
Not me with joyful tears in my eyes because I finished and submitted my fic for [community profile] crossworks.

That's it, that's the post.
